Gathering marketing information is essential for retail and service businesses. Supreme Court decisions have recently curbed just how much a business owner or clerk can ask customers about their personal information, even their zip code. But some companies are using 1-800 phone numbers in effective ways to gather data. Customers sometimes now get a receipt with a 1-800 telephone number on it for a survey that includes a random winner of a shopping spree to that store or a free service. The company gains the necessary information and the customer gets a chance to win a valuable prize.

Read this post by the digital spy regarding Hollywood actor and comedian Bill Murry:
Bill Murray has claimed that he set up his own toll-free hotline where studio executives and agents can leave a message because he doesn’t want to be harassed by them. The actor has insisted that if the message is “interesting” enough, he returns the call but otherwise he enjoys the hassle-free method of avoiding trivial business meetings, reports Contactmusic.
The 59-year-old said: “I have this phone number that they call and talk. And then I listen. I just sort of decide. I might listen and say, ‘Okay, why don’t you put it on a piece of paper, and if it’s interesting, I’ll call you back, and if it’s not, I won’t’.
